South Padre Island: 5 Year Old on Fire w
July 2, 2025
Action-packed day from the get-go! Summer fishing on South Padre Island TX brought Marina and their crew out with Today We Fish Charter and Adventures for our 3 Hour (AM) Bay Fishing Trip. We launched early morning under partly cloudy skies, with a hint of possible storms on the horizon. The water was calling our names as we set out to explore the rich fishing grounds around South Padre Island. Our goal was to make the most of our time on the water and show our crew the best experience possible with Today We Fish Charter and Adventures. Once the stage was set, we dove right into the action. Starting with some Live croaker fishing along the coast. The versatility of South Padre Island's waters really shone through as we worked different spots. Our efforts paid off when we hooked into a nice Spotted Trout. At 16 inches, it wasn't a monster, but it was a solid catch that got everyone's blood pumping. We wrapped up the trip with smiles all around, having given it our all and enjoyed every minute on the water.

Our group of four caught 50+ fish and kept enough for dinner for the four of us. We fished near shore and had a great day catching a variety of fish. High tide is the best time to fish.

Catching fish can never be guaranteed so you have to expect the minimum and hope for the maximum. Great to have a captain that transitions to different styles to adapt to what the day gives you.

I think there are so many different fish to catch! We did the morning trip, it was overcast but it was great! I think with the right captain, like Captain Rob with Runnin the Flats it will be great!

We had a blast. I highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to do some beginning or expertise fishing. Don’t expect to be going out deep-sea fishing. You’ll need a full day or longer to do big fish but if you plan on catching some pretty decent size fish and the opportunity to catch some bigger ones offshore around 40 to 30 feet we got tons of different types of fish even if we couldn’t keep them due to season. It was still a blast to catch them and release

It can be a little hot at the end of June, coming into July. There is no shade, so wear the appropriate clothes and sunscreen. Maybe bring a handheld fan. But he took us swimming and it was a fun time.
